Study of antimicrobial effect of methylene blue incorporated in ZSM-5 zeolite
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new heterogeneous photocatalyst was prepared by incorporation of methylene blue into ZSM-5 zeolite. This photocatalyst effectively absorbs light in visible range of the spectrum and when irradiated with visible light, it generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in aqueous environment. Efficiency of the photocatalyst was tested on dechlorination of a model compound 4-chlorophenol and on growth inhibition of Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli.

Photodynamic inactivation of Escherichia coli by methylene blue incorporated in ZSM-5 zeolite channels under red LED light
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a method that combines the use of nontoxic components, namely photosensitizer, light and oxygen to cause localised oxidative photo-induced damage. The aim of this study was to contribute to PDT development by studying an alternative light sources using red light-emitting diode (LED) light and evaluated its effect on the photodynamic activity of methylene blue (MB) ...
متن کاملApplication of TiO2–zeolite as photocatalyst for photodegradation of some organic pollutants
Immobilization of catalysts on the surface of some inert supports makes therecovering step easier. Because of the specific physicochemical properties, zeolites are good candidate as catalyst supports. In this study, zeolite X was synthesized by natural kaolin and TiO2 was incorporated into zeolite phase by impregnation method. Degradation of Safranin Orange, methylene blue and 2,4–di...

متن کاملA cost effective and sensitive method for the determination of ammonia concentration in nanocrystal mordenite
The reduction capacity of ammonia while present even at ppm level can be demonstrated by the increased encounter probability between ammonia and methylene blue dye (MB+) incorporated in nanomordenite and Na-MOR zeolites. The rate of reduction methylene blue dye by ammonia on the surface nanomordenite zeolite is faster than Na-mordenite (Na-MOR) zeolite.Because nanomordenite zeolite with high si...
